BELLINGHAM, Wash. — A Bellingham man convicted in 12 armed robberies will spend more than 12-years in prison.

Michael Dean James was sentenced Thursday for the knife-point robberies earlier this year of motels and marijuana shops in Bellingham.

James pled guilty February 28th.

Court documents show he robbed 20/20 Solutions several times.

James was arrested along with Angelica Willard who is suspected of being his get-a-way driver.

Willard’s trial is set for October.
